何が起きたか: Theoretical Limits of Language Model Alignment

Apple researchers derived theoretical limits on reward improvement for language model alignment under KL-divergence constraints, showing best-of-N approaches the optimum while PPO and GRPO remain suboptimal.

なぜ重要か: Theoretical Limits of Language Model Alignment

Matters for engineers tuning alignment methods when balancing model safety and capability preservation against computational budget and inference costs.

注意点: Theoretical Limits of Language Model Alignment

Analysis assumes ideal reward signals; real-world proxy rewards introduce hacking gaps that grow with reward error magnitude and lower KL penalties.
